An emergency signing is being prepared after the holidays!

RC Lens faces a real slaughter in attack with the serious injuries of Rémy Labeau-Lascary, Martin Satriano and Wesley Saïdleaving M”Read Love as the only viable option at the forefront of the attack. This critical situation forces the artesian club to urgently strengthen itself during the hivernal market so as not to compromise its ambitions.

An attack decimated by injuries

The shocking news came this Monday: Rémy Labeau-Lascary suffered a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, an injury which will keep him away from the field for 6 to 8 months. An additional blow for RC Lens who will already have to cope without Martin Satrianooperated in October, and Wesley Saidhit in the quadriceps. Faced with this shortage of attackers, M’Bala Love will be the only center forward available to challenge PSG in the Coupe de France on Sunday.

An essential offensive recruit

Under these conditions, recruit a new striker seems essential for RC Lens this winter. Despite the target of 40 million euros in sales set, the Sang et Or will have to find a quick solution to compensate for this glaring lack of offensive options. The arrival of a winger would also allow Will Still to have more choices in his 4-2-3-1 system. The young Kembo Diliwidi (18 years old), recently promoted, could also have his chance.

A crucial market

This winter transfer window therefore promises to be crucial for Lensoise ambitions. With an attack reduced to its simplest expression, RC Lens will have to demonstrate reactivity and ingenuity to find the necessary reinforcements and remain competitive on all fronts. The pressure will be strong to find the right opportunity(s) and not jeopardize the rest of the season.
